A Eurostar source last night expressed concern that the operator hadn't provided any reasoning to the public or staff about the sudden changes to security measures.

He told MailOnline: "Everything as far as I know has been kept very hush hush.

"There haven't been any mails... no communications at all.

"Obviously the risk was very serious as all staff and passengers were asked to leave any liquids behind, which doesn't happen very often.

"A helicopter was apparently (following) the Eurostar, and even then passengers (were) not made aware of potential threat."

Some passengers complained on social media about the announced changes.

A passenger known only as Ursula tweeted: "Send an email or at least tweet on the liquids next time.

"I had to throw away my perfum - was my Xmas present."

Another passenger wrote on Facebook: "Warning! I just took the Eurostar in Brussels and ALL liquids are now forbidden.

"No perfume, no shampoo, no beer... terrible to throw them all away."

Eurostar responded on social media by telling passengers they had to take the step at "short notice".

A Eurostar spokesman said: "Our services always operate at the highest levels of security, with 100 per cent of bags and passengers checked before departure.
"Security procedures are set by the authorities, and on some occasions we may be advised to implement additional checks. This was the case with one Brussels service yesterday."
